Tomorrow is the last day of the #YearlongMixtape, so
tonight, I’m doing an “everything but the kitchen sink” post: a bunch of songs
that I can’t go without posting, but just ran out of time. So here goes!
First up – BOWIE!!
Have I mentioned that I love him?
“Suffragette City”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEkXAHIKdKI
#HeyMan
and
“Fame”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-_30HA7rec
#WhatsYourName
Gaga and Beyonce, “Telephone”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVBsypHzF3U
The Killers’ spectacular “All These Things That I’ve Done”:
My absolute favorite Keane song, the heartbreaking “Try
Again”:
The Pointer Sisters – “Automatic” (I might have already
posted this one, but it’s so great, you need to hear it again!)
Bruce Willis (wait, what?), with June Pointer, covering the
great Staple Singers classic– “Respect Yourself” – yessss!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SqFRYW0mrI
This is the greatest cover of the most over-covered song
ever: “Hallelujah.” Bono’s
interpretation gives it an entirely new meaning. You might need a cigarette after you listen. You’re welcome.
And finally, the song that Bon Jovi (and countless other
bands) have been trying to rewrite for years. Most of their subsequent albums have had songs like this
one, with the “my life is tough, but I’m livin’ it, and I’m doin’ things my
way” kind of songs. From “It’s My
Life,” to “Have A Nice Day,” to “We Weren’t Born To Follow,” they will never
beat the best: “Livin’ On A Prayer.”
Stay tuned for a very special ending tomorrow night!
